Cockroach control

If you have ever lived in a city, you have probably run across roaches. They are the most common pest around the world and they are everywhere. It is estimated that there are 4,600 species of roach, 25-30 of which are associated with human habitations.

Roaches can be disturbing to find in your home, which is bad enough, but they are also known to contribute to carry a number of diseases, which is why getting a professional roach control and removal specialist is so important. Cockroaches are filthy insects with bad habits you do not want around your home or food prep areas. Controlling roaches is important because they can help spread disease and dirt around a home and cause businesses to lose their reputation or even be shut down.

Hiring professionals is key for cockroach control rather than trying DIY methods.

Know your cockroach

Although there are numerous species of roaches around the planet, the ones that are most common for homeowners are:

German cockroach - these roaches prefer to live and breed indoors and most often found around your kitchen or scurrying around your bathroom.

American cockroach - found in basements and kitchens, but prefer to breed outdoors and live on trees.

Oriental cockroach - dark black or brown in color they love cool, damp areas. These are a health concern because they love to feed on garbage and decaying things.

How to prevent cockroaches

While you should always contact pest control professionals if you have an active infestation of cockroaches, there are steps you can take to prevent cockroaches from gaining entry to your home or business.

Eliminate food sources - store dry foods in tightly sealed containers or plastic bags and do not leave food sitting out on counters. Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets.

Clear all waste food and liquid spillage - clean up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and appliances. Empty garbage cans on a daily basis and keep all garbage or compost in sealed bins.

Seal entry points - to deny access to cockroaches. Key risks are gaps around pipes, drains and common walls with neighboring properties. Tiny cracks around skirting boards and behind electrical sockets should also be plugged.
